Chapter 582: King Changle
Although Wang Fubao was dressed like a squire and landlord, Luo Cheng knew very well that this former old subordinate was now a general under the command of Dou Jiande, the king of Changle, one of the three heroes of Hebei.
Dou Jiande is now the leader of Hebei, dominating Douzigang, it is said that he has 8,000 elite foot riders and more than 100,000 people.
And he Luo Cheng is a general of the imperial court.
A grass thief came to send him 3,000 stones of grain and grass, which is indeed intriguing.
Luo Cheng looked at Yang Shanhui, after all, Dou Jiande's current territory traverses the plains and the two counties of Bohai, and Yang Shanhui is the Taishou of Pingyuan County.
Yang Shanhui whispered to Luo Cheng a little helplessly, "Since he is willing to send it, Duke Chu might as well accept it." ”
"You're a harmonious family, right?"
It's not a harmonious family, but the truth is a bit complicated.
Wang Fubao dared to openly appear in front of Yang Shanhui to send food to Luo Cheng, and it was indeed that they had reached some secret agreements with Yang Shanhui.
In terms of performance, Dou Jiande had already surrendered to the imperial court anyway when the anti-kings besieged Pingyuan County, so the last time Luo Cheng used him as a guide to destroy the thieves in Douzigang, not only did he not kill him easily, but also gave him some food afterwards.
After that time, Dou Jiande also saw such benefits.
So after Yang Shanhui took over as Juncheng, he took the initiative to contact Yang Shanhui and expressed his willingness to help suppress the bandits. Of course, on the surface, he accepted Zhao'an, but in fact, he was still entrenched in Douzigang.
Yang Shanhui didn't agree at first, but after two battles, he couldn't win against Dou Jiande, so he had to reach a secret agreement in the end. The officers and soldiers of Pingyuan County and Dou Jiande did not offend each other, and even the two secretly cooperated to fight together against various other bandits in Pingyuan County and the surrounding areas.
Exchange news and fight together.
Under their divine operation, one black and one white, it can be described as a rich result.
The gangs and bandits that were exterminated were one after another, and then Yang Shanhui's political achievements were naturally very beautiful, and they also ensured the stability of Pingyuan County. As for Dou Jiande, of course, there are many benefits, after Gao Shida was defeated, he already had hundreds of people in his hands, and he relied on this hand, he quickly swept away the surrounding roads in a short period of time, and soon became the strongest one on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Anyway, up to now, Dou Jiande has restrained his subordinates, and he has indeed not attacked a city in Pingyuan County, he mainly fights other rebels, relying on black to develop and grow, and on the other hand, he monopolizes the salt production and salt sales in Douzigang, making a fortune.
Even through Yang Shanhui, he sold the salt of Douzigang, so that Yang Shanhui also made a fortune in it.
Therefore, although Dou Jiande now calls himself the King of Changle, Yang Shanhui has never sent troops to fight him, and the two sides maintain a very delicate cooperative relationship.
After listening to Yang Shanhui's explanation, Luo Cheng had to marvel, there was still such a sassy operation, this Dou Jiande was really smart.
It can't be said that Yang Shanhui will be a thief, after all, the local situation is too chaotic now, and there are thieves everywhere, and now he is cooperating with Dou Jiande to pacify those small bandits, which is also a great achievement.
After all, Dou Jiande does not disturb the people or attack the city now, but those small bandits are burning, killing and looting. As for a hero like Dou Jiande, after a long time, it will definitely be a big disaster, but Yang Shanhui can't help it.
He has so many soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is difficult to take care of the other, and it is not easy to keep the stability of Pingyuan County now. And he is also more sympathetic to those displaced people, since Dou Jiande has recruited more than 100,000 people and placed them in Douzigang, he will turn a blind eye.
Luo Cheng beckoned.
Wang Fubao strode forward.
"Lao Wang, your brothers were also very brave when they were with me in Liaoxi before, and they also fought side by side with me, and they were bloodied and wounded together. Now you are in Douzigang, although you look good, but it is not a long-term thing after all. I also remember that you didn't do anything hurtful to heaven and reason, and remember the old feelings, why don't you accept my recruitment, take these people in Douzigang, and go to Liaodong outside the border with me? ”
"I don't care about anything else, but as long as you are willing to go to Liaodong and get there, I will protect you as an official of the five grades of the eagle and the general!"
Wang Fubao bowed to Luo Cheng, "Thank you for being willing to remember our old department and willing to give us a background." It's just that people like us who break the family have already sworn to Tianming that they will no longer be Sui soldiers or Sui officials in this life. Thank you for your love, and please forgive us for not knowing the sin of lifting. ”
Luo Cheng saw that he looked firm, and he understood that he couldn't be persuaded, so he smiled.
For people like Dou Jiande and Wang Fubao, it was a helpless move to rebel at the beginning, but whenever there is any leeway, they are unwilling to embark on this road, just like Sun Anzu Gao Shida and they went to Douzigang Gaojibo to be thieves, but Dou Jiande never left Zhangnan, and has been his county and county military captain, until he was finally killed by the official army and his whole family, he had no choice but to fall into the grass.
And now, after such a long time of struggle, Dou Jiande is no longer the same person he was at the beginning, he has 8,000 brothers under his command, with a population of 100,000, and he has become the king of Changle, and he is no longer at ease without being instructed by others, how can he be willing to return to Luo Cheng's command again.
Not to mention that Luo Cheng is only willing to give an Eagle Yang Lang General, even if he gives him a Tiger Tooth Lang General, they may not be willing.
"Originally, Brother Dou was also coming, but the family was so busy that he couldn't be free for a while." After speaking, Wang Fubao waved his hand, and his subordinates pushed up a cart of things.
"There is some gold and silver in it, and I will give it to the marshal to wrap it on the road, and we have prepared 3,000 catties of salt on the side of the grain truck."
Luo Cheng smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Fubao, "You have a heart, although you have come to this point, you are helpless, but I still have to advise you, your road today is still crooked, it is very dangerous." I hope that in the future, you will not disturb the people and do things that hurt nature and reason. ”
"Also, if you really can't get along one day, remember to come to Liaodong to find me, I always remember you old brothers."
Wang Fubao was greatly moved, "Xie Dashuai." ”
Three thousand stone of grain, three thousand catties of salt, and three hundred taels of gold, Luo Chengdu took it.
Wang Fubao had mixed feelings, and finally left.
Yang Shanhui looked at their departing figures and said to Luo Cheng, "Luo Shuai, they are thieves after all, sooner or later, we will still have to meet each other." ”
Luo Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that you understand it in your heart, in addition, as a local county guard, your biggest responsibility is to defend the land and the people, and you have to resolutely crack down on those thieves who burn and kill the people and plunder, and give priority to extermination." ”
Chi Liang, the deputy commander of the White Horse Righteous People, said to Luo Chengdao, "If you want me to say, why bother to recite any incense with this kind of anti-thief, let's go directly to Douzigang and completely wipe them out, so as not to be used as a talking handle by someone with a hand to attack the marshal." ”
Luo Cheng only shook his head.
